The Washington Eagles are taking a road trip to face off against the Woodside Wildcats at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Washington had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Balboa on Thursday. Washington's pitchers stepped up to hand Balboa a 10-0 shutout.
Tasso Tourlos was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over 4.2 innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Washington is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-5 otherwise. Tourlos was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. He has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last five times he's played.
